Celebrity hair stylist Oribe Canales has died at age 62.

The beloved coiffeur to stars — including Naomi Campbell, Jennifer Lopez, Cindy Crawford, Emily Ratajkowski and Miley Cyrus — was mourned on social media by many of the beautiful people whose hair he styled.

Campbell also posted a black and white photo of Oribe helping her look her best.

“Tell me is is not true,” Campbell wrote on Instagram. “I love you forever.”

“Rest in Power, Oribe Canales,” Ratajkowski captioned a topless photo of herself. “I am so grateful to have been able to work with you and know you. The king of hair, the king of Miami, the best smile.”

The cause of Canales’ death wasn’t clear Monday.

The star stylist was born in Cuba and moved to the United States with is family when he was 6. In 1976, Canales — who was professionally referred to only by his first name — came to New York City and opened his first salon a year later.

Canales spoke to People magazine in 1991 after he opened his famous Fifth Avenue salon.

“I saw that hairdressers made a lot of money, and it didn’t seem that hard,” he told the tabloid.

He later found success in the fashion world, and in 2008, he launched Oribe Hair Care with co-founders Daniel Kaner and Tevya Finger.

An Oribe spokeswoman confirmed the company founder’s death.

“While we don’t have an official statement from the family at this time, we can confirm that this sad news is true,” a company rep wrote in a statement. “Oribe was an amazing hairdresser and friend and will be missed. Out of respect for his partner, Zaki, and his family, we have no further comment at this time.”
